unsupported 16bit resource 1

[michaenh]

hi

I have a resource file..

and I have added in my project:
{$R test.rc}

when I try to run/build the program an error occur:
unsupported 16bit resource

It seems that the resource file is 16bit an my project doesn't manage to have that..

What should I do to get it right?
Convert the resource file to 32bit.. how do I do that?
Or is it some options in Delphi to set it to handle 16bit resource file?

cheers

I think, from what I can recall of resource files, that it should have the .res extension not the .rc extension. I think an rc is the script file which has to be compiled into a .res file. Check out the following articles on delphi.about.com:

Here is a site which explains how to convert 16 bit resources to 32 bit:

Hope this helps!
